Originally posted by zeeblebotIt has already been noted here that the truth has a slightly liberal slant. So, your scores are deceptive. This docudrama allegedly errs in its facts with an anti-Democrat/pro-Rupublican bias. Due to the nature of the events depicted--the raw emotions, only Moore's film bears comparison. Moore's film revealed the leadership vacuum at a time when Bush still was immensely popular. This film attacks the credibility of Clinton (easy) at a time when Bush has lost his ability to dupe the American people.

The mass media is biased towards sensationalism and making money for their corporate advertisers (Cialis, Hummer, and Verizon seem to have more commercials than most). They are not biased towards liberal politics (which doesn't even exist in America any more anyway).

In the hope of stemming a tide of ignorance, let me pompously add; any notion that this media is biased towards conservative Republicans is absurd.
The notion that the mass media in the U.S. is biased towards liberalism is absurd, although widely believed. In the hope of stemming the tide of such ignorance, I offer this link to a news story that exposes the clear conservative bias (accepting for the sake of argument that American Republicans still merit identification as "conservatives"😉 of ABC, and th ...[text shortened]... l calculated to move public opinion in an election year: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14707869/
It's drawing rave reviews.
Looking forward to viewing this recap of the report issued last December by the 9/11 Commission.
